This website has a prayers page where people can request prayers for someone in need of prayer, but I decided to put this prayer request on the front page. Judge Caprio posted a request for prayers on December 6, 2023 on Youtube. As of 1/10/24, that short video had 8,358,205 views and 192,124 comments. Judge Caprio is very smart to ask for prayers.

The judge is now in his 80s and was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Most doctors would give the judge little hope, but the Greatest Physician isn’t “most doctors.”  The one who created us can also heal us.  God is supernatural and his healing isn’t something we can understand. But, it requires faith. Jesus said that we must pray and believe.

That takes faith because we are praying for something that may be considered a miracle and we have to rise above our own limited thinking to acknowledge that God does heal and he has healed many people. The many miracles described in the Bible about people who were crippled from birth and then instantly healed by Jesus or even people who had died being brought back to life are based on historic truth.

In Mark 11:23, 24, Jesus says: “Truly I tell you that if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and has no doubt in his heart but believes that it will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

I know the judge believes in the power of prayer, and as those praying for him, we have to know that our prayers will be answered. Even if we don’t understand miracles or the supernatural, we have to have confidence that our prayers can lead to healing. He asked for prayers because he knows that thousands of people will ask God to intercede. They will ask for God to heal the judge. They just need to believe that it will happen. You need to know that it will happen.

Here is the judge’s plea:

“And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.”
